A Curious Observation.

According to l. 'Electrcien, NJ. H. Dun
vile pledges his scientific reputation to
the accuracy of the following observation:
If two glasses of water be placed, one
upon the north pole of powerful mag
net, and the other upon the south pole,
in four or five minutes the former ac-
qures a slight alkaline reaction. while
that ON the south pole becomes slightly

time abandonded the case Tor the

Republican party for President.
He served for period in tie low

was elected to the Senate.
He was strong party man, ana

TIE GLE AND 8E~ SURVEY
OE GENERAL.

The APPEAL for some months |
past has been glad to give the SUP |
port of its columns to the new Sur
veyor General of the State. Con-
corning Mr.. Irish personally we
have very little knowledge. We
only Judge the man by his methods,
and a careful reading of his recent
report shows that he has been able
to grasp the situation in Nevada
with a view TO the interests OF the
State, which did not characterize
the administration of his predeces-
scr Gen. Powning.
Mr.. Powning took the office as a
political sop, and when he entered
upon the duties of his Office, was
totally unacquainted with tae re-
sponsibilities. He was in about the
same condition when he lett, for
only few months before the APP
pointment OF Irish, Powning sent a
letter to the Department, painting
such a doleful picture OF Nevas- as
land and resources that the De-
partment thought it useless to con-
tinue surveys in such worthless
country and ordered all surveying
stopped. After telling the Depart
ment that Nevada land was almost
entirely worthless and giving the
agricultural interests the blacklist
eve it ever had, he has the ciIaTac-
teristic assurance to demand the po-
sition OF President of the Agricul-
tural Society, all OF which goes to
show that the quantity OF his gall
has in no wise deteriorateu since
the last disasterous campaign.
After MIR. Irish was appointed
Mr.. Powning had the bad taste tt
leave no some unturned TO defea'

his place in case Irish did not sue,
coed. The APPEAL objects to gen
erai grounds to importing outsiders
to positions of honor and ptoiit IL
this State but it supported Irish a
against Powning because the latte
had forfeited all claims by his at
tack on the agricultural interest o
Nevada and also because it ha
positive knowledge of the fact cha
charges were on file at Washington
against nearly every applicant &c
the position.
Mr.. Irish has begun his work b
reporting to the Department tha
Nevada is a magnificent State III

able of high development. Tn

The Legislature will meet on the 18th
of March. The Governor has been wise
to call the body together apart from any
consideration of the pressure brought to
bear on him. We have maintained for a
year that the best way was to tackle a
difficulty. instead Of avoiding it-espe-
ciallv when the Fabian policy of timidity
is so out of place after the great political
revolution that broke the rule OF
Radicalism. When the Legislature
last was in session people did not see
clearly what is now so plain, viz: That
the Riddleberger settlement is no settle
ment at all, and that so long as we pre-
tend TO make it settlement the United
State Supreme Court will incontinently
crush any obstructive acts on our part
that are passed to make that settlement
work.
No reputation amounts to anything II
such measure could be tried. You might
pass volumes Of acts to kill the coupons
but they will not down. The law OF the
United States declares them valid, and if
you think you can kill the principle you
could not bring it beyond the inheritance
of its offspring, the interest, which is
indissolubv attached to it by reason OF
the decisions of the United States Su-
preme Court.
Let the Legislature, therefore, have
done with the poppycock of demagogues,
and like sensible and patriotic men take
the difficulty in hand.
The way to settle it is to ask the credi-
tors to look at the books and ascertain by
the figures the relation between our as
sets and our liabilities.
This is business age, and the creditors
have announced that they are ready to
settle on the basis of our surplus revenue.
1t really looks as if few straightfor-
ward men could effect this settlement di-
rectlv, and redeem the reputation of the
State. The reverse is very plain, and
that is a defeat of the Democratic party;
for the Republicans are not fools enough
to try conclusions on a reputation plat
form.
As Governor Hill says, the Democracy
wants an aggressive policy, and the as
,urance that we will have nothing to be
Of.

The Indiana Legislature had circus

Robertson was hustled out, while several

filled with blasphemy of the classic ward

hall, and at last the Republicans locked
themselves in and proceeded to manage
things their own way, while the Demo
Gratis of the House refused to receive a

and was set for 10 o'clock in the morning.

reach there in time The weather was very
warm. and the two miustrcls reached the

All There is Ahont Cows.

Here is Lauras composition on the cow: A
COW is an animal with four legs on the under
side The tail is longer than the legs, but its
not used to stand on. The cow kills flies with
her tail A cow has big ears that wriggle on
hinges; so does the tail A cow is bigger than
a calf, but not as big as an elephant She is
made small so she can go in the barn door
when nobody is looking. Some COWS are
black and some hook. A dog was hooked
once. She tossed the dog that worried the
cat that killed the rat Black COWS give
white milk; 50 does other cows. Milinen
sell milk to buy their little girls dresses,
which they put water in and chalk Cows
chew cuds and each COW finds its own chew.
This is all there is about cows-Wde Awake.

been interviewed and said
simply expressing my personal opin-

and appalling war is certainly in the near
future, but this, indeed, everybody may
be said to know The rapidly increasing
ornaments, the huge burdens several of
the powers are laying upon themselves,
the directions in which the ornaments
are being developed, and the massed
forces make war inevitable.

The Retaliation bill of each house of
Congress has been referred TO a confer
ence, where members, it is to be hoped,
may be more calm and sensible than to
attempt to force Canada into terms by
stopping trade with her, instead of let
ting the President and the State Depart
ment settle the fisheries question with
the government of Great Britain. Why
should millions of poor people in this
country be made to pay double the price
for salt fish merely to give monopoly to
few New England fishermen? This
question lies behind the whole difficulty,
but it comes very prominently to the
front in the proposed policy of retalia-
ton.
